What type of sleeping bag is best for camping?

Choose a sleeping bag based on the season and temperature. For summer camping, lightweight bags with synthetic fill are ideal. For colder conditions, opt for down-filled mummy bags with high warmth-to-weight ratios. Rectangular bags are better for comfort, while mummy bags maximise heat retention.

Are self-inflating mats better than air mats?

Self-inflating mats offer a balance of comfort and insulation without requiring manual inflation. Air mats are lighter and more compact but may need a pump or effort to inflate. Choose based on portability and your desired level of comfort.

What is the purpose of a sleeping bag liner?

Sleeping bag liners add warmth (up to 15°C depending on material), improve hygiene, and protect your sleeping bag from dirt and oils. They are lightweight, easy to clean, and can be used alone in warm weather.

How do I choose the right sleeping mat?

Consider the R-value for insulation—higher values are better for cold conditions. Foam mats provide durability and warmth, while air mats offer superior comfort and portability. Match the mat’s size and weight to your camping needs.

Are mummy-shaped sleeping bags warmer than rectangular ones?

Yes, mummy-shaped sleeping bags contour closely to your body, minimising empty space and maximising heat retention. Rectangular bags are roomier but less efficient at retaining warmth in cold conditions.
